About this map

The Roanoke River carves a dramatic, winding path along the border of Martin and Bertie counties, defining the northern landscape of this region. The town of Hamilton sits on the southern banks of the river, where the grid of N Railroad St and E Main St anchors the local settlement. This area is characterized by a high density of water bodies and wetlands, including the expansive Broadneck Swamp and the meandering Conoho Cr.

To the south, the settlement of Ballard is surrounded by a network of rural routes such as Ballard Rd and Campbell Hill Rd. The landscape is dotted with distinct local landmarks, from the Roy Everett Hunting Club Pond to the secluded Rainbow Pond tucked into a river bend. These features, alongside the massive Huskanaw Swamp, illustrate a lowland environment where industry and residence have long been dictated by the shifting waters of the Roanoke drainage basin.
